Did notice a little bit of distortion on Girlfriend. Don't know if it was my stylus or what.

My shipping notice is taking it's time this month. All swaps have been closed for a good week now.
yeah...I got my shipping notice yesterday (11th), but it had already gotten to Seattle and was shipped out on the 8th.
(my swap for Outkast 'Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik' is in the package)

that is a normal month for me (also all swaps are supposed to close on the same day) [though this month it is already on the move despite VMP site not showing it has shipped]

Finally got a shipping notice. Looks like it actually shipped days ago though. OutKast, Phoenix, and two Novos in tow (my brother wanted one).

Aaaaand it has arrived! Wow, these are all beautiful records. They're all flat and undamaged. The color on OutKast is GORGEOUS! The mirrorboard cover looks stunning. The foil on Phoenix looks great. I love the deep brown color of the Novos. Gotta go to work now (the records don't pay for themselves), and I can't wait to come home and spin these!

Hint 4:
One ROTM comes from a guy with a name that starts with a W. Another comes from a guy who is also in a group that starts with a W. The final one comes from a guy who added an addendum to his name at a later date.

Gotta be. Most likely Africa Brasil then? Unless one of his other albums contains more of a closeup than that.

What are the other Essentials clues that point to Africa Brasil?

Two of the three records are made by artists from Latin America.
Two of the three records were made either in New York City, or very close to it.
Extreme closeup, a deli, smoke cloud.

I personally hope it's Forca Bruta over Africa Brasil, but I rarely get what I want.

That would be awesome too!. Really hoping his album with Gilberto Gil gets a reissue sometime soon too.

For Phoenix, my side A sounds outstanding, but there is a lot of noise on side B, especially noticeable on the quiet sections on the track Rome. Anyone else experience this?
I'm gonna clean the record and give it another spin today, but if nothing changes, I'll contact them. It was sad, bc I was really excited with the dynamics and sound on Side A, and then I flipped it …
